The Beachcomber Cafe at Crystal Cove. It is a funky cafe right on the beach just north of Laguna Beach. You park on the inland side of Pacific Coast Highway and walk thru a tunnel to get to the beach side. http://www.thebeachcombercafe.com

I hope you enjoy yourselves. I work in Newport Beach and live in Huntington Beach. I love living here.

I can’t wait to pick your brain when you get back! Hubs has a conference in California this September and it will be my/our first time there! I have had so many co-workers go there over the years, and after hearing how much they all loved it have secretly wanted to live there ever since! The weather is perfect there! Enjoy the sun and the sand and the well deserved break! Kim

Juxtaposition at crystal cove is a must see, Brooke Gianetti told me about that place and it was such a cool store, u will love! Next time u come out make time to see Palm Springs and stay with us, fun, fun girl!!

I have not been to where you are going but I must say…LOVE California! The past 2 Februaries our family has spent in Tahoe/Truckee. Our oldest son got married on Lake Tahoe last year and it was absolutely stunning! I fell in love with Truckee the minute we arrived. People say go in the summer because there is so much to do.
I know your family will have a wonderful time. California here we come!

We usually only travel down to Southern California when we have to. Although the beaches are warm and sunny. We tend to drive “over the hill” and go to the Monterey area. Although a long drive from Southern cal – this part of the California coastline is some of the most beautiful coastline in the world. Plan on spending the night or two! Or maybe a destination for your next vacation to California!

I used to live in Orange California back in the late 70’s. I have never been back so I could not suggest a thing.I bet many places we went to are gone.We always loved going to Laguna beach and Newport beach.I bet you had an amazing time.How lucky to escape the cold weather here!
